    To the Point

    A strange race for the White House with a stop in Sin City

    In last night’s presidential debate in Las Vegas, Donald Trump refused to declare whether he’d accept the results of November’s nationwide voting.

      When police need participants in lineups to help victims of crime identify suspects, they have to ask permission. Not any more. Now, with facial recognition technology, they don’t have to ask. Pictures of almost half of all American adults are now in their files. That could mean you. Photo courtesy of Gene Hunt.
